Tobacco

Around one in four people in Switzerland smoke. Cigarettes contain nicotine, which is quickly and highly addictive. Smoking is very bad for your health and causes around 9,500 deaths every year. It is difficult to consume tobacco without risk. That's why it is best if you don’t smoke at all.
FISP helps parents to prevent their children from smoking. Smokers are encouraged to stop smoking and are given useful advice on how to do so.

Events

FISP provides information and discussion events on the subject below. Because of the information they receive, parents with a migrant background know that you can quickly become addicted to nicotine. They understand the harm that smoking causes and are given important advice to help their children not to smoke.

The information events are run by trained intercultural mediators, mainly in migrants’ groups or their organisations, usually in the migrants’ mother tongue.
